2026 so far: albums and books

reading books and writing book reviews has become a much bigger priority in my life over the past two years so I made a new site on wordpress to keep all of my writings about books (there are reviews for all the books listed here) and music in one place, along with other creative writings and photos. it’s not trying to be a sput alternative, it’s just a personal archive and I still plan on posting any future album reviews here (if I ever write one again). anyway. i’m not expecting it to interest most people but if you do check it out lemme know what you think of the layout. thisworldisablackhole.ca
